Farm worker organizer and union activist Cesar Chavez today is a man with many streets named after him but little purchase on the public memory, outside, perhaps, of the Latino community. So it s understandable that filmmakers would want to dramatize a life and career that were not only politically potent but inspirational to many. Unfortunately, Cesar Chavez, directed by Mexican actor Diego Luna, commits the classic sin of biopics about storied leaders: it s reverential rather than revealing, predictably admiring where it needs to be nuanced and challenging.

Biographies of Chavez paint a man who was complex and controversial even within his own circle, a natural leader who also made strategic mistakes that sometimes harmed his own cause. This is rich material for a movie. Yet Cesar Chavez regrettably gives us the historical man with all the rough edges sanded off, leaving a depiction that bears an uncomfortable resemblance to a plaster saint.

Everyone is looking to take a slice of the pie, and when you think how many people live in the US, how many sports fans there are and the craving for gambling, you can understand why everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon.
It doesn’t matter what type of gambling you look at, people are trying to get sign-ups and interest from the legalised states in the US.
